‎---- FIRST ITALIAN EDITION ---- "The first modern physiology textbook in which doctrine gave way to simple, precise descriptions of experimental facts. Vol. 2 contains Magendie's classic demonstration of the importance of nitrogenous food, or protein, in the food supply of mammals. In the course of his experiments on dogs fed non-nitrogenous substances, Magendie also induced the first experimental cases of an vitaminosis (specifically, lack of vitamin A)".
